I know a lot of you are still a little raw over the recent fiasco concerning M.P's and the liberties that they've taken regarding how much they aren't and are allowed to swindle the taxpayer out of.


I personally however would be greatly disappointed if the politicians I'd help elect into power weren't a bit dodgy and didn't make any effort to shit on their constituants from a great height.


You're allowed to nominate on real candidate and another fictional politician be it from a satirical show on politics or any other current affairs broadcasts.


My nominations are as follows.


Jeffery Archer


Archer made a phenomenal impact on the spending culture of the U.K's establishment and made damn sure there was plenty left in the trough for himself.

Whether it be getting involed with insider trading or blatant perjury he was up there with the best. Constantly pimping the system for his own gain.


Sir, I salute you.


My next candidate has to be Ian Richardson's Sir Francis Urquart from the BBC's House Of Card's who was a despicable yet likeable rouge who was capable of brushing aside the most venomous accusations of abuse of office with the legendary line;


"You may very well think that, but I couldnt possibly comment."


Class.

Well, i can't make any promises bbwolf, i can only say i'll do my best!


Although B'stard always makes me think of a combination of Mandleson and Archer, which is an ungodly terrible thought...

I'm going to have to go on a Comic Strip marathon now to purge such thoughts from my mind.

I'm sad to see that so little of you thought my suggestion of Jeffery Archer had the calibre or nerve to take the positian of the most hated M.P


Whether he was selling arms with Mark Thatcher or covering up shady business connections in the energy sector, the man simply didn't give a f_ck about which rules he broke or who he did over in his murky quest for Thatchers ear and admiration.


He didn't give a f_ck to such an extent that he wouldn't even piss on Gerry Adams if he was on fire.


He just didn't give a f_ck.


You can just picture it can't you...


"Mr Archer, there's been a terrible sectarian explosion and hundreds are dead and many are still on fire. Do think you could possibly give us a hand in helping the injured survivors?"


"Errmm...excuse me...I don't know if you're aware of this but I'm not in the habit of giving out f_cks, not even for charity."

Aitken would also do quite well in the "procuring prostitutes for clients" stakes. Not to mention the "getting your own teenage daughter to perjure herself" stakes.


Robert Boothby, Tory MP and at one time an aide to Winston Churchill. Thought to have fathered three children outside of his own two marriages, one of them with Dorothy (wife of Harold) Macmillan with whom he had a long, semi-public affair.


Also probable relationships with Ronald Kray and opposition MP Tom Driberg. Was shouted down when he spoke in the Lords to call for the release on bail of the Krays.

I don't think you can top Aitken and Archer for sleazy crookedness, so i won't even try.


In the fictional stakes, though he doesn't hold a candle to aforementioned, I always liked the caninet secretary Sir Arnold Robinson in Yes Minister, rascally self-serving old scallywag that he was.

What I loved about him was he was indignant enough to try to make personal gain from the defamation he'd suffered (ho ho) and ends up going to prison for perjury (did his daughter get told off?). You couldn't make it up and it just utterly summed up the oily arogance of those Tories. (not like this bullingdon lot, they're noble and cuddly).


Archer was possibly worse for his unabashed worship of Mammon, though frankly Blair is every bit as obsessed in these stakes.


Does Blair count as one of the worst, single handedly drags a nation to a war nobody else wanted because of his religious convictions, and spends the rest of his premiership lying through his back teeth?

Good call Mockney, I feel a fool for not remembering him.


I often credit my base and sickening sense of humour on the combined discovery of the Viz and the Alan Clark diaries at a young age.


Blame my parents.

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
